Dairy Milk

The classic dairy milk is the original choice that everyone starts with, some might even say that it is the golden standard for Matcha Latte Milk Options. Dairy Milk gives us a balanced taste with just the right amount of sweetness to let the rich umami taste of the Matcha to shine. In addition to that Dairy Milk delivers a smooth rich texture to the drink, which adds to the whole drinking experience. With that original creamy taste that surely lets the Matcha shine, it is the best choice for any beginner or even veteran Matcha drinkers. 

Oat Milk

Oat Milk has garned quite the following, being unnofically dubbed as the go-to non dairy option for Matcha Lattes. This is mostly due to the natural sweetness that oat milk brings that adds to the depth of flavor of the Matcha. To add to that, it brings a creaminess to the drink and is a great option for frothing. If you want a sweeter non-dairy option that balances out the butter tendencies of Matcha, Oat Milk is the way to go.

Soy Milk

To those that still want the classic texture of dairy milk but still want a healthy vegan option, go for Soy Milk. It delivers a blank slate for Matcha to be the star of the show, an option that works for Matcha rather than try to overpower it, due to its mild, neutral taste profile. This is also the best option for those finding a great source of protein as the soy milk is packed with it, compared to other options. 

So, which one is the best?

As with many things, there is no one singular best option, but rather it boils down to your preferences as a consumer. Dairy Milk is a classic option that gives a balanced taste with the right amount of richness and creaminess. Oat Milk is best non-dairy for those who prefer an additional depth into the already umami packed Matcha drink. While Soy Milk, packed with protein and delivers the same creamy and rich texture as Dairy, is a great neutral option. There are many more options waiting to be explored with so many different flavor combinations when it comes to Matcha, but don’t forget to savour every sip of that drink.
